Migration is increasingly being promoted as a possible adaptive response to risks associated with climate change and other stresses. While migration may present an adaptation pathway in certain contexts, existing research fails to consider the ways in which migration could contribute to vulnerability in sending communities. This paper examines the impact of migration‐affected change on local vulnerability in Lamen Bay, Vanuatu. Qualitative methods, including interviews and focus groups with 58 individuals, were used to determine how migration interacts with the multiple stressors faced by the community. The results show that migration is likely to contribute to vulnerability in already vulnerable communities. In Lamen Bay, migration affects a number of contextual factors that influence exposure and the capacity to respond to change, including labour supply, food security, migrant attitudes, underdevelopment and institutional viability. These results suggest that development policy in Vanuatu needs to address existing vulnerabilities while offering the opportunity to migrate. 相似文献

Bonding,bridging and linking social networks: A qualitative study of the emergency management of Cyclone Pam,Vanuatu 
下载免费PDF全文
下载免费PDF全文 Cyclone Pam (March 2015) was an unprecedented event in Vanuatu forcing the simultaneous involvement of national and long‐term international actors, well integrated into the national disaster governance system, as well as numerous short‐term international actors, unfamiliar with the geopolitical and cultural disaster context of the country. Cooperation between these three groups of actors evolved through the three scales of bonding, bridging and linking social networking. This paper questions the different drivers and challenges within and across these scales of social networks affecting cooperation among the three different groups of actors during an emergency. Using a mixed methodology based on social network analysis, this paper utilises the case study of Cyclone Pam in Vanuatu to study the strengths and weaknesses of the disaster governance system in place based on bonding and bridging social capital to conduct disaster risk management and to prepare the integration of linking social capital when external support is needed. This paper contributes to the identification of key considerations in the development of resilience‐building strategies: the interactions of diverse actors to address disaster management needs and the reciprocal impacts of these interactions within and across the three different scales of social networks. 相似文献

Vanuatu is an underdeveloped country,but it is rich in tourism resources and has become an increasingly popular tourist destination.Tourism is one of the pillar industries of national economy.At present,the core component of Vanuatu’s tourism consumption structure is the basic elements based on accommodation,transportation and catering.However,the proportion of shopping,sightseeing and entertainment,which are factors of tourism value-added consumption,is very low.Therefore,it is urgent to improve efficiency and quality of tourism.This study suggested that Vanuatu develop characteristic cultural tourism products in multiple dimensions,build its characteristic cultural tourism pedestrian streets,make cultural tourism products with food tourism as the theme,create a brand series of Vanuatu characteristic tourist souvenirs,design the characteristic homestay experience with "slow tourism" as the core and optimize the structure of tourism consumption in Vanuatu to improve its cultural influence and the level of modern service industry and realize the optimization and upgrading of the industrial structure. 相似文献

Using 3D architectural models to assess light availability and root bulkiness in agroforestry systems. In many parts of the humid tropics, coconut trees are frequently intercropped with food crops, or tree crops such as cocoa.
The performance of such systems depends on planting patterns, but also on growing conditions for crops below the coconut canopy
throughout the development of the coconut trees. We used a modelling approach providing indicators for assessing above-ground
competition for light and below-ground competition for space, in order to optimize intercropping in coconut smallholdings.
Light transmission and the number of coconut roots in the interrow were assessed in coconut smallholdings from 6 to 60 years
old. The modelling of light transmission through coconut stands was based on three-dimensional virtual coconut trees and a
numerical light model that computed the shade cast by coconut trees on underlying crops. Root colonization in the interrow
was assessed with virtual 3D coconut root systems. Our results showed that intercropping with shade-tolerant species was not
limited by light transmission from the 35th year after coconut tree planting. However, at that stage of coconut tree development,
the density of primary roots in the interrow limited intercrop development, especially for root and tuber crops. Alteration
of the planting pattern over time increased light transmission but did not significantly affect root density. This modelling
approach, which involved little parameterization that was easily done, appeared to be an efficient tool for recommending coconut
tree planting patterns and densities, as well as indicating intercrop potential depending on their location in the most sunlit
areas with minimum root competition.
